　　Now Playing: Game of Thrones: Conquest - Choose Your Battles

　　This year is different for Dinklage, however, as Game of Thrones is now finished. In his acceptance speech, Dinklage spoke about the brilliance of Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, and how Dinklage didn't know what he was getting into at the start of the show.

　　"I count myself so fortunate to be a member of a community that is all about tolerance and diversity, because nowhere else could I be standing on a stage like this," the actor said, as reported by Deadline. "It's been about 10 years, all said and done, from the moment I met [series creators] David [Benoiff] and Dan [Weiss] till now. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I knew that David and Dan were quite brilliant…We did nothing but sweat, we did nothing but laugh. Dave and Dan, we literally walked through fire and ice for you--literally--and I would do it all again in a heartbeat."

　　Dinklage won his first Emmy for Game of Thrones back in 2011. He is the only member of the Game of Thrones cast to win an Emmy, though a number of the cast--including Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, and Kit Harington, among others--have received nominations over the years.
